The Ruling on Seeing the Dead in Dreams

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people claim that the dead come to them in dreams to inform them of what is happening in their home while they are away, and that they come to them in dreams to thank them if they do a good deed for them. Do they know this and inform the living about it?

Answer:
Yes. He says: Some people claim that the dead come to them in dreams to inform them of what is happening in their home while they are away. To inform them. To inform them of what is happening in their home while they are away, and that they come to them in dreams to thank them if he does it. These are not the dead; rather, these are devils, as has been mentioned to you before.
Yes, they come to him in his sleep, or even he sees them while awake, and they say, "I am so-and-so," or all of this is a lie. These are devils. The dead cannot come back to this world. The dead do not come with shirk (associating partners with Allah) and pass by shirk while they are dead, forever. Yes.
